When Will a Motorscooter Pay for Itself in Gas Savings?

Note: Many scooters will have figures that are similarly persuasive to those in the table below. These were chosen because all price, MPG data, etc. were available.

If you are currently getting 12 miles per gallon in your vehicle, and are commuting 10 miles each way to work, commuting on a motorscooter that gets 102 MPG instead would save you approximately $0.22 per mile driven for a monthly savings of $91.91. If your motorscooter costs $799.00, this means that after driving 3622 miles, your motorscooter will have paid for itself in gas savings. If you drive 5000 miles in a year, this means that the scooter will have paid for itself in 8 Months.

Here's how that would work out for different motorscooters:
